The SteamBake function couldn’t be simpler, you just add 100ml of water to the cavity in the bottom of your oven, set the oven to ‘True Fan Cooking’ press the ‘SteamBake’ button and select the desired temperature. Invert the cake pan onto whatever you’d like, then either use a torch or a blow dryer and heat the sides of the pan until the cake releases. A generous coating of Pam or another oil-based spray will ensure that your cake slides out in one piece, rather than many. After the cake has cooled, use a small rubber spatula to loosen it from the sides of the pan, then gently flip it onto a serving dish and remove it from the pan.
